To be poor and destitute in 1920s Paris and London was to experience life at its lowest ebb. George Orwell, penniless and with nowhere to go, found himself experiencing just this as he wandered the streets of both capitals in search of a job. This book gives an account of the streets and those who have no choice but to live on them.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

George Orwell

George Orwell, pseudónimo do escritor Eric Arthur Blair, nasceu na cidade de Motihari, na então Índia britânica, a 25 de junho de 1903, tendo-se mudado para Inglaterra com a família, ainda durante a infância. Escritor e jornalista, Orwell é uma das mais influentes figuras da literatura do século xx. Defensor incondicional da liberdade humana e acérrimo opositor do totalitarismo, inscreve-se no panorama literário com as obras Dias Birmaneses (1934) e Homenagem à Catalunha (1938). Mas será, sem dúvida, com Quinta dos Animais (1945) e Mil Novecentos e Oitenta e Quatro (1949), duas narrativas com uma atualidade assombrosa, que o autor alcança o reconhecimento internacional. Morreu de tuberculose, em Londres, a 21 de janeiro de 1950.
